Miami Marlins RHP Brad Ziegler (back) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday, June 22, with a right back strain. RHP Junichi Tazawa (rib) was reinstated from the disabled list in a corresponding move.

The Miami Marlins have agreed to terms with free-agent RP Brad Ziegler (Red Sox) on a two-year contract worth $16 million plus incentives, according to multiple sources. The deal is pending a physical.

Fantasy Tip: It was Ziegler's first blown save since joining Boston and his second straight loss. He should remain the closer for now, but Craig Kimbrell is set to return soon and should reclaim the gig in short order.

Fantasy Tip: It's unknown how much time Uehara will miss, but he's no spring chicken and has a history of injuries, so grab Ziegler immediately if he's available in your league. Ziegler, a soft-tossing sidearmer, isn't your prototypical closer with just 6.0 strikeouts per nine innings, but he has gotten the job done in recent years and deserves to be owned with Uehara and Kimbrel sidelined.

Fantasy Tip: Ziegler went 2-3 with a 2.82 ERA and 18 saves in 36 appearances for Arizona, with 15 walks and 27 strikeouts over 38 1/3 innings, while Uehara is 2-3 with a 4.96 ERA and three saves through 35 games, with nine walks and 46 strikeouts over 32 2/3 innings. Although Ziegler's strikeout totals are low for a closer and Uehara has posted a 7.00 ERA in 10 games over the past four weeks, both relievers should be rostered in AL-only fantasy leagues and by owners in mixed formats who are desperate for saves.

Fantasy Tip: Daniel Hudson and Tyler Clippard are both candidates to take over the closer role with Ziegler no longer on the team. Each pitcher has recorded one save so far this season, so owners should monitor the situation to see which pitcher receives the next save opportunity. Owners in NL-only leagues should pick up either pitcher if they are available. Hudson and Clippard will have value in mixed leagues if they become the new closer for Arizona.

Fantasy Tip: Ziegler's acquisition was made after Craig Kimbrel suffered his injury, so there is a chance Ziegler could be used as the closer if Kimbrel is sidelined for a while. He likely will be used as a setup man once everyone is healthy. Owners in AL-only leagues should look to add Ziegler to their roster, while owners in mixed leagues should consider keeping him even if he does not close.
